Herbert Dershem is a key nal} i! our alepaltnent. He has been instru_
!4ental. j.n the alevelopinent of ou" progr€,u in computer science.
Ilelb 1s one of those rare individuals wbo i.s extremelv successful as
teacher in the cfassroon and also as a researcher. A couple of quotes by
students speak to his teaching effectiveness:

A fisting
greatl-y his pg1r1ence, unalerslranding, anal sense
of sone of fierbrs research anal scho].arly activities
is attached.
fhls year Herb Is seiving on the AcademicAffairs Boaril. Teacher
Xalucotion Coneittee, Conputer Conmlttee, anat ls facuLty advi;or for pi Mu
Epsll,on, an honoraly nathenatics freternity.
During the past year Hexb hs.s cond.ucted tou!6 of the cooputer center and
expla,ined its operotion to nole than 20 grou?s of second,ery students.
I{e
also gave tlro clas6e6 for a hlgh school gloup froro West Ottawa.
Ilelb is an active lrerober of ZioB Lutheran Church. He le servlng as
chulch treasurer, a lnelnbe" of the church council, a teacher of the adult
31b1e cle8s on Sund.aymornings, a conveDer of a youig coull_es stualy group,
and. a herober of the pLs.4nlng cormdttee.
Ilerb is keen-ly interestecl in the dlevefoploent of ttre rrroathenatics vith
coeputing enphaslsrt proeralr. Not onl"y ls he interested in our naJors irogrs!.
Ile is al-so laterested 1n the aleveLopnent of a coulse in conputlng to be taken
by stud.ents wbo vlsh to satiEfy the college mathena,tics requirenent.
Herb
hopes to l-earn nore about tbe colrluter appfications to calucetion in othe!
disclpfines
so that he night be of asslstance to colleagues ln other aiepartments
in introducj.ne cl"assfoon use of orir expanding conputer facifities.
Although there appesrs to be an oversupply of nathenatlcians in some
area.s, this is Dot true in conputer ecience. It would be !te€.r to inpossj_bLe
to replace Eerb a'ith a rnan of equaL qual-ity and characte!.
